What happened? Description:

This is did not happen to just me alone. [RsRh Owner] Cane was a bit of a sketchy guy that owned a decently big steam raffle group that at the time I was happy to be an admin in. This, however, changed when he asked me to do some "favors" and defend him while he was away on "vacation". While I was defending him, the person that was scammed by Cane before showed a few screenshots showing that Cane, is in fact, a bit of a scam artist. He comes back after things have settled down, and demotes me instantly, because I was starting to support the cause. After that, he demoted anyone else that tried to speak up against him. I asked him why he was doing this, and then he bans me from the group. The following are the damage done by Cane:

Also, sorry if the screenshots are hard to read, these are from other people.

To a person named a Bacon Devil:
Cane owes 10.5 keys after sharking him out of his unusual:

To a person named Rhapsody:
Cane owes 2 keys after accepting Mod fees and demoting him instantly:

P.S: He is trying to drag me into this in the screenshot, even though I posted in announcement that I stopped supporting him (before he demoted me).

To a lot of unknown mods:
There are several mods that I could not get a hold of due to my in-ability to get into the group again. In the chaos of when I tried to defend Cane in, at least three admitted that he scammed them out of 2 keys each (the moderator entry fee).​

Provide Evidence:

Him telling me that he was going to be hiding in World of Warcraft since he did not want negative attention.

Him straight up telling me that he scammed, and then tries to lie to me about him not being able to control the group, even though it was obvious that he still had control.

Him demoting me and then admitting to demoting a lot of the other admins and mods in the group.​

Sorry that I was unable to upload any screenshots from computer. When I tried to upload them, none of the Bitmap images appeared. Instead, I had to upload them to imgur.

Could a mod move this to the correct type, this isn't related to Spycrabbing.

. This guy cant be more than 12 years old, I couldnt trust a guy who spells steal, stell. Dudes a knob, what group is this?

The report is on his gambling fraud, not on the Spycrab. I'm pretty sure that if you report is as gambling, they get both of the categories.

The group's name is RedstoneRockHard, which can be found at this link: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Tf2Coolraffles . The reason why it is so absurdly large is because he lures people in with Unusual giveaways, which I know for a fact, are also rigged.

Before a moderator reads the evidence, I'm going to say this right now. Evidence #1 and #2 are mixed up. I cannot believe that it took me over 3 weeks to notice that...

Being a previous (and also demoted for calling him out for his sketchy business) moderator of the steam group I can also confirm that these "unusual giveaways" were talked about, advertised, and used as a way to get people in the group but I have not seen any unusuals change hands from Cane to a lucky group member.

I was also demoted from RsRh even after paying the fee of 1 key for the rank, and being one of the most polite, reserved staff members and doing several raffles.

Agreed.

You have reported 0 counts of gambling. Whilst I agree this should receive a tag for multiple offenses, it has nothing to do with gambling. You might want to get a moderator/admin to change the topic, or else you risk the chance of this report being declined and archived: http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/notice-changes-to-investigation-policy.47952/
It would also speed up the process as well.

It seems like he attempted to scam me as well, but I'll let you guys determine that.

I made an announcement in my group with the chat log if it makes any difference

You can add paying people to +rep him to those offenses and he's since sold Redstone Rockhard to a more competent owner and for short time suddenly getting +reps but someone found out he was bribing people with items like ref in exchange for a +rep. And he probably knows that he can get away with the items he steals now that Valve did the dick move by not restoring stolen items to backpacks.
